Fire & Ink: Wolf by Emily Rose

Fun
I liked the book, and the two main characters had some fantastic chemistry. However, what really bugged me was the dialogue. I get that rich people can be snobby and stuck up, but David meets this this and the first thing he says to her is that she spreads her legs and is a whore? Business is a lot about reputation, and speaking to strangers that way just isn't plausible. Even saying hello to this family and they would retaliate with "Don't speak to me whore. Go back to spreading your legs"
I just found that so ridiculous and over the top. Nobody acts that way. The other characters I liked, but the repetitiveness from Wolf's family really brought the book down for me. I would have liked to see more calculating meaness, just like his mother did, rather than the exaggerated, over the top dialogue that just wouldn't work in real life
